I think it was doing them a favor getting some burn while trying to lose. Ideally they will not bring any of them back. Luka does some good things, but needs to learn to shoot. When he puts arc on his 3 it tends to go in more. Not sure how he hasn't figured that out at this stage.
Losing competitive games is the best way to tank, after all. I wouldn't read much into it. Jazz would probably like to be seen as a team doing players a solid, and they got important playing time to show off before free agency,
For the last few games, I wouldnt read into any "development" narrative. I'm pretty sure its more about last minute assessment of the remainders in your roster, to give them one last chance to convince they are worth keeping.
